Lilith could see the spine of the book. Sitting there. Mocking her struggle. Lilith had positioned herself nearly parallel to the shelf in her attempt to reach her desired book but to no avail. She could barely touch the second shelf as it was and what she wanted sat on the third. She tried to keep her efforts as soft as she could in hopes that no one noticed. [i]Come on, come on, come on…[/i] she pleaded with herself, emitting strained noises. Her left ear twitched as a noise came to her attention. She glanced over her shoulder, relaxing her muscles as the Rhyhorn from earlier approached. He commented on the library and seemed to appear out of nowhere. As she lowered herself, Lilith let her paws rest on the first shelf, inspecting the Rhyhorn from top to bottom as he yammered on.

“No, I suppose you don’t,” Lilith noted about his lack of arms. “They’re more like stubs. You have stubs.” A lighthearted chuckle escaped her as she spoke. She tilted her head back to look at the book again before returning to the Rhyhorn. She wondered to herself, [i]Would it be rude to use him as leverage?[/i] She pondered the thought before shaking her head. No, no she concluded that it would, in fact, be rather rude. Lilith let out a sigh. She hoped the book would give her some insight on her capabilities as an Eevee but she isn’t even capable of reaching it.

Lilith forced a smile at the Rhyhorn and opened her mouth to excuse herself when he mentioned evolving. Her ears fell, resting anxiously against her head. “It’s just a book,” she stated. Her tone was soft but almost harsh. “I don’t need to evolve to reach a book.” Lilith lowered her legs and backed up from the shelf. Once she felt the books behind her she bent her knees and lowered her chest. There wasn’t much room in the aisle but her legs were rather close to the ground. Lilith ran toward the book, pushing herself off the ground and toward her goal. She caught the second shelf and attempted to kick herself off from the tops of some books. She lost her footing and started to fall back to the ground. There was a soft [i]thud[/i] as her body made contact with the library floor. Her head shot up, expecting to see a domino of bookshelves before her. She was too light. The shelf merely toddled before returning to its previous position. Lilith felt her face heat up and turned away from the Rhyhorn. 

“You saw [i]nothing[/i].”
